What is the policy of what the /var/cache/edb/world file should contain?
I was under the impression that is should contain all installed packages
which are not dependencies. No more no less.
Of course there is some exceptions like a package should be stated even
if there is some plugins to that package installed.
f.ex.
app-dicts/aspell
app-dicts/aspell-se
app-dicts/aspell-en
How should this case be handled?
But after running the script that where supposed to fix this file, it
contains a lot of packages that already are dependencies...
If I edit it by hand to only contain the packages I KNOW I want, the
depclean gets really odd on me. It tried to uninstall perl f.ex. which
clearly is a dependency on many things.
So is there a bug here, or is this policy clearly stated somewhere?
Oh and another thing, why would anyone want to run emerge -u world
without --deep? And why wouldn't you want --deep to include all the deps
down to glibc?
